Trondheim, Norway

1) Adventure is 24 year-old North Carolina native and recent Baltimore transplant Benny Boeldt. His ultra-melodic synth compositions pull from his earliest exposure to the 16-bit soundtracks of the Sega Genesis video game catalog. But it’s not just retro video game music. Mix in the kitschy Moogy sound of Hot Butter’s “Popcorn”, the saturated disco-theatrics of late seventies electro-pop acts like Sparks and Yellow Magic Orchestra, and a penchant for Eastern European diminished scales and you’ve come pretty close to Adventure’s accelerated baroque sound.

Adventure is an advanced, dance-floor friendly take on the music of early video gaming. Let the epic quest for the master sword begin!

2) Adventure is a progressive rock band from Norway.
Band members (working at album Beacon of Light):
Odd-Roar Bakken - Keyboards, Synths, Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar and Mandolin

man, i love benny so much, we even played in a two-off band with william from future islands, but i've always thought it was insane that people even pay attention to his boring 2D tunes and beats. Moss of Aura is where the true new b-more electronica is coming from.
